27 Teen-agers Graduate Academy

Tuesday's class was the fourth to complete the six-month, intensive training at the academy for wayward boys on State Road 80. The $1.4 million academy is the first of its kind in the county to focus on troubled teen-agers. Its goal is to reach them before they are arrested on a felony charge.

As cadets, the teen-agers undergo intense discipline, heavy calisthenics and a before-daybreak reveille. But the graduates are not finished yet with Eagle Academy. School officials will make follow-up visits for three months to ensure they are staying out of trouble.
